[QuadList] RCA TR-3 in Lower Manhattan--Serial 3001--Ping Lytle

[Ted Langdell]

I had a feeling that might be the case.

You don't see series numbers x001 too often.

That begs the story behind where it's been since being made in Camden.  
Maybe former RCA guy Lytle Hoover has an idea.

Would be interesting to find out that the machine at CTL is the one in  
this brochure photo:

The TR-3 wound up in some interesting places:
